RE: 5.0 swap into a S197
ORIGINAL: rmays06
Ok don't kill me yet try to read first with an open mind.....
I have always wanted to build a motor and I want another 5.0. I have had 2 of them and I'm itching for another one. The fox body is my favorite and brings may memories back to me ( I know why don't you buy a Fox then) well I got this car and want something a little different. I want a TRUE 302 5.0 S197.
I looking for tech advice here, I am not rich and would be doing the install and wiring myself. I would like to go Fuel Injected.
Couple questions:
What kind of EEC would I need. is therea plug and play?
What kind of trans could I put in this car that would line up well?AOD?
Would I have to fab a motor mount system?
Any suggestions Besides get you head checked?
Fit should be an issue due to the 4.6 being so wide, and I seen a 427 in an s197 with out cutting being done.
Thanks for the advice guys!~

plus it would be legal to put and engine that ford no longer uses in a newer car, legally you are only allowed to have an engine that is produced the year of your car or newer. the cost of putting a 5.0 in there and having it modded enough to be compariable to the new 4.6 performance, wouldnt even be worth it, you could probably put a 5.4 in there and have more power and it may even cost less
